HC Deb 27 March 1939 vol 345 cc1712-3
4. Mr. Day (for Mr. David Adams)

asked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the desirability of issuing a White Paper detailing the action proposed by the Government towards assisting European refugees seeking asylum from persecution, and also the sums proposed to be set aside for this purpose?

Mr. Butler

His Majesty's Government participate fully in the activities of the League of Nations High Commission and of the Inter-Governmental Committee to continue and develop the work of the Evian Committee. In the present rapidly changing circumstances it is not, however, a practical possibility to issue a White Paper on the subject.
